Los Alamos Public Schools Administration is one step closer to having a permanent home.
During Tuesday night’s school board meeting, members voted 3-0 on a purchase price for the building at 2075 Trinity Dr. that houses LAPS administration offices. Board members Joan Ahlers and Thelma Hahn were absent.
“The board took action on the intent to buy the building at the price that was listed,” said Assistant Superintendent Paula Dean. “They agreed to a price of $2.4 million.”

One good turn deserves another, at least that’s what members of the UNM-LA Advisory Board think when it comes to electric rate increases.
A few weeks ago, Los Alamos Public Schools Purchasing Manager June Gladney addressed the county council, asking that the school district be exempted from the utility rate increase being proposed by the county’s utilities department.
A few months ago, LAPS also asked to be forgiven on an old utility debt.
